The Bible's Foundation by Charles L. Aaron Pdf

The first five books of the Hebrew Bible spark discussions that last for centuries. From the creation stories in Genesis through the delineation of the law in Deuteronomy, these five books - the Pentateuch - contain deep troves of historical and spiritual treasures. In The Bible's Foundation: An Introduction to the Pentateuch, Charles Aaron Jr. looks at each book through several perspectives: ancient near-Eastern background, literary analysis, structure, important theological concepts, and compositional history. The Bible's Foundation: An Introduction to the Pentateuch accounts the academic significance of each book and the issues of faith that have marked these books as important, sacred texts. Each chapter summarizes the content of an individual book, provides careful analysis for selected representative passages, and discusses in a critical way the faith issues raised from the text.

The Crucifixion of the Warrior God by Gregory A. Boyd Pdf

A dramatic tension confronts every Christian believer and interpreter of Scripture: on the one hand, we encounter images of God commanding and engaging in horrendous violence: one the other hand, we encounter the non-violent teachings and example of Jesus, whose loving, self-sacrificial death and resurrection is held up as the supreme revelation of God’s character in the New Testament. How do we reconcile the tension between these seemingly disparate depictions? Are they even capable of reconciliation? Throughout Christian history, many different answers have been proposed, ranging from the long-rejected explanation that these contrasting depictions are of two entirely different ‘gods’ to recent social and cultural theories of metaphor and narrative representation. The Crucifixion of the Warrior God takes up this dramatic tension and the range of proposed answers in an epic constructive investigation. Over two volumes, renowned theologian and biblical scholar Gregory A. Boyd argues that we must take seriously the full range of Scripture as inspired, including its violent depictions of God. At the same time, we must take just as seriously the absolute centrality of the crucified and risen Christ as the supreme revelation of God. Developing a theological interpretation of Scripture that he labels a “cruciform hermeneutic,” Boyd demonstrates how Scripture’s violent images of God are completely reframed and their violence subverted when they are interpreted through the lens of the cross and resurrection. Indeed, when read through this lens, Boyd argues that these violent depictions can be shown to bear witness to the same self-sacrificial character of God that was supremely revealed on the cross.

The Principles of Kingdom Foundations by Nelson O. Olajide Pdf

Foundation addresses the very core of our integral being. It is the single most important thing in our lives. Our success or failure is determined by the type of foundation we have. No marriage succeeds without a solid foundation. No business lasts without a solid foundation. No country triumphs without a firm foundation. No ministry experiences a breakthrough without it. Foundation is connected to every aspect of our lives. I have seen a lot of families, businesses, Careers and ministries growing or breaking up as a result of the foundations they laid. Beloved, the purpose of this book is not just to reveal the effects of the wrong foundation we have laid but also to reveal the remedy for the broken foundation. If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do? (Psalm 11:3, KJV). This question remains the enigma that everybody needs to solve. As you read this book, ask yourself some sincere questions regarding the problems youve had and the one you are passing through right now. Are the foundations of your marriage, business, career, spiritual life, etc., in good order? If not, my prayer for you is that as you read this book, you might find joy, peace, victory, solution and fulfilment that only the power available in the name of Jesus Christ, our ultimate Foundation brings.

Foundations by Robby Gallaty Pdf

The Bible, in and of itself, is a miracle. Think about it -- over centuries of time, God supernaturally moved upon a number of men's hearts, resulting in them writing down the exact words of God. God then led His people to recognize these divine writings and to distinguish them from everything else that has ever been written. Then God's people brought these 66 books together. The preservation and survival of the Bible is as miraculous as its writing. Then God gave men technological knowledge to copy and transmit the Bible so that all people could have it. All of this took place because God has something to say to you. With Foundations, you can read through all 66 of the miraculous books of the Bible in one year, while still having the flexibility of reading 5 days per week.

Foundations for Biblical Interpretation by David S. Dockery,Kenneth A. Matthews,Robert B. Sloan Pdf

It is because we believe the Bible is God's Word to his people that we have worked together to create this volume. All the contributors affirm the complete veracity and total authority of the Bible. Since this is the case, we believe it is important that the Bible be studied and applied properly. All of us, like the readers of this volume, face the challenge of what it means to hear and obey God's Word, to learn it, and to put it into practice. In order to interpret the Bible correctly we recognize the need to understand historical background material, cultural issues and contexts, ancient languages, hermeneutical practices, and the theological significance of the biblical text. This book is intended to be an introductory textbook for beginning students in college and seminary, but it can also serve as an update for ministers and Bible teachers as well. - Preface.

Faulty Foundations by Onyechi Daniel Pdf

My good friend, Onyechi Daniel, is an internationally-known teacher. He is passionate believer, a loving husband and father. But he is also a credible scholar, a persuasive communicator, and a man of God who walks with integrity. I think I have every one of his books. I always find them to be mentally stimulating and spiritually enlightening. I receive new revelation and strength from each one. I highly recommend Faulty Foundations - the unseen problems to you. Read it, and be blessed! - Eddie Smith, President, U.S. PRAYER CENTER, Houston, TX, USA. What dose the Bible actually mean when it says that ...old things have passed away?... Have we misunderstood the scripture: ...The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the childrens teeth are set on edge. As I live, says the Lord God, you shall no longer use this proverb in Israel... (Ezek. 18:2-3). Can evil done in a particular environment bring problems to the innocent inhabitants of that environment? Can a Christians life be affected by the past sins and abominations done by him and his ancestors? Can a person or family still be in captivity after being born again? Why should a Christian still suffer from prolonged sickness, delay in marriage, bareness, threat of death, poverty and near-succes syndrome? Are all curses broken spontaneously when we become saved? This book is studded with revelations on the significance of spiritual foundations - it shall settle the controversy once and for all.
